A manhunt in the Legacy Farms South area of Hopkinton resulted in the capture of a potential suspect wanted in connection with a drive by shooting in Framingham. On Sunday, March 26, 2017 at approximately 5:00 pm, Framingham and Ashland Police attempted to stop a vehicle identified in connection with the above crime. When the vehicle operator failed to stop officers gave chase to the suspect and followed him into Hopkinton along Route 135. The suspect vehicle crashed in the area of East Main Street at Clinton Street. The operator then fled on foot.
Mutual aid resources including Ashland, Hopkinton, Framingham, Southborough, Upton, Holliston and Massachusetts State Police were mobilized. After a perimeter was established a search was conducted. The suspect was located by Ashland Police K9 Unit (Dax) in a newly built home that was unoccupied on Sweetwater Way. The suspect was taken into custody by the Hopkinton Police Department on charges of Breaking and Entering, Malicious Destruction of Property and Leaving the Scene of a Motor Vehicle Crash with Property Damage after a brief struggle with the K9.
The suspect was transported to Framingham Metrowest Hospital for evaluation. No officers or citizens were harmed during the chase or subsequent search for the suspect. Hopkinton Police Chief Ed Lee stated from the scene that “this arrest serves as another example of the value of multi-jurisdictional response to emergency situations. The rapid mobilization we saw tonight resulted in the capture of a potentially violent suspect.”
The suspect has been identified as 24 year old IGOR CAMPOS of Hosmer Street, Marlborough Massachusetts.
